Some pieces start as design exercises.
This one started as a conversation.
The Stop Making Humans T-shirt came from observing how intimacy is treated today: something everyone experiences, but very few feel comfortable discussing. We kept returning to the same thought: intimacy is part instinct, part learning, part vulnerability, and definitely not something that comes with a clear guide. Is it a high-risk technology?
So we built a piece around that idea.
A simple X-ray. A condom wrapper. A sentence that feels honest in a slightly uncomfortable way: "Not Helpful for Young Minds". Not moralistic, just real.
The inspiration also comes from bootleg culture and the old X-ray vinyls used in the Soviet Union. People found ways to share what mattered to them, even when the subject was difficult or inconvenient. There is something very human about that.
This T-shirt lives in that space: between humor and honesty, between everyday life and the things we avoid talking about. It’s not here to lecture anyone. It’s here to acknowledge that intimacy carries risk: emotional, physical, and social, and that pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone.
And because talking about responsibility only makes sense if action follows, we decided that 10% of the profits from this piece will be donated to a sexual education institution in Brazil. Clear information is still one of the most effective tools we have.
Why release this now?
Because conversations around intimacy are happening everywhere: online, in nightlife, in relationships, but often without guidance or context. If this T-shirt can make someone think, smile, question... then it’s doing what it needs to do.
Nothing here is about implementation.
It’s about honesty, provoking the kind that feels a little awkward, but useful.
